The Nuggets' size, particularly in the frontcourt, are capable of giving any opposition fits offensively. MPJ, AG, and Jokic are all very capable of playing solid defense and converting turnovers created by their defense into easy buckets. They also have an experienced defender in KCP who can challenge James Harden. The Clippers might have the best chance of beating the Nuggets in a series, but I don't see them winning such a series.
